31) Quran Study: Sura 18:98 & Sura 81

Study From Parivash 431, Sura 18:98 & Sura 81 Edip, Azan & Salat, By Rashad

Speaker 2 (0:00) There is a trouble. (0:02) I hope you, my Lord, feel good. (0:07) On that day, we will listen mainly with one another, and the horn will be blown, and we will summon them all together. (0:15) This verse is 3 or 4. (0:17) This verse talks about the end of the world. (0:20) The last prophecy in the Quran before the end of the world of Gog and Magog. (0:40) The last prophecy in Gog and Magog on the dawn to happen of 17. (0:48) 1700 lunar date. (0:53) 2271. (0:55) The year 2271, because if you go to Gog and Magog it is in verse 94. (1:05) If you count the verses at the end of the Quran, it comes to 17. (1:07) 17th century from the revelation of the Quran. (1:10) The only other mention of Gog and Magog is in surah 21, also 17 verses from the end. (1:21) Because the end of the world is 1709. (1:25) 1710 actually. (1:26) When you see page 305, at the top, K-S-Y-A-N-S, if you add the value of all these letters in the Quran, it comes to 1709. (1:41) And they determine the length of time from the revelation of the Quran to the end of the world. (1:47) You have to read the appendix from the end of the world. (1:58) So 1709 means the length of time from the Quran to the end of the world will be completed to the end of 1710, which is the month of 19. (2:08) You have to give this kid up for adoption. (2:15) Yes, I take up. (2:21) Yes, from now, yes. Speaker 8 (2:25) Because both of these, Gog and Magog, mention 17 verses before the end of the chapter. (2:30) Could it also mean that 17 years before the end of the world? Speaker 2 (2:34) No, 17th century, because they put all the pieces together. (2:46) On that day, we will let them link it with one another. (2:50) Gog and Magog will be a few bad countries or nations or communities. (2:55) It will look like the spread of true Islam around the world, so they will attack. (3:00) Because God will not let them prevail. (3:04) So then the world will blow up. (3:08) In other words, you can think of God personally coming to intervene in this. (3:12) Once God comes to this world, those things will blow up. (3:17) 100, we will present hell on that day to the disbelievers. (3:21) It is consistent with the rest of the Quran where God says hell will be created on the day of judgment. (3:27) There is no hell now. (3:29) This is why the righteous die, because they wait until hell is created. (3:33) The chief, God shows it to them in a nightmare. (3:38) As we see in surah 4. (3:41) Heaven already exists, so for the righteous, they don't wait. (3:45) They don't pray. (3:46) Pray to him. (3:49) 101. (3:52) There are the ones whose eyes were too vain to see my message, nor could they hear. (4:02) There is something very important now that is developing. (4:08) The word used for message here is zikr. (4:14) And we are coming to the realization that zikr means the mathematical code of the Quran. (4:22) Because if you look at surah 38, this is our reason. (4:29) This is how it all started to develop. (4:32) And it makes perfect sense. (4:36) Look at surah 4, 5, 3. (4:54) Notice the verse one says saad and the Quran that contains the message. (4:58) In Arabic it is saad, while in Quran it is zikr. (5:02) In other words, the Quran that contains something in it. (5:04) What is the something that is contained in the Quran? (5:07) It is the mathematical code. (5:09) And it is in surah 38. (5:13) And it begins with a letter saad. (5:15) Get another one. Speaker 7 (5:17) Oh, you have two? Speaker 2 (5:20) Yeah. (5:20) Okay, good. (5:21) You are hiding the other one under you. (5:28) Zebran, your mom is missing you. (5:32) I have to teach her to expect all the great things. (5:34) Get used to that. (5:37) You are not missing you? Speaker 5 (5:38) Of course not. Speaker 2 (5:40) You are having fun. (5:42) Where is Hanan? (5:43) He is over there. (5:46) How can you just part from him after so many days? Speaker 7 (5:49) He is adopted. (5:50) He is adopted. Speaker 2 (5:54) Thank Allah. (5:56) As long as you can see him having fun. (6:07) He doesn't like that. (6:11) He doesn't want to stop the idea that the Quran may not be completely preserved. (6:16) But anyway, zikr. (6:18) Also, when God speaks about the number 19, He says, this is zikr. (6:25) So, we are coming to now, if you look at this verse here, God says, they are the ones whose eyes were too vain to see my mathematical code. Speaker 5 (6:43) Yes. (7:19) Yes. Speaker 2 (7:28) So, we want to clog because they are too noisy. (7:41) So, it seems like the mathematical code fits perfectly here. (7:49) Those people just cannot see the miracle, no matter how gigantic it is. Speaker 9 (8:00) The mathematical code. Speaker 5 (8:08) Yes. (8:11) I thought you were talking about this one. Speaker 2 (8:16) I was talking about how they can't... Speaker 5 (8:24) This actually happened. Speaker 2 (8:27) This is actually what they said. (8:32) So, what I want is that the ones whose eyes were too vain to see my message or my mathematical code or my miracle, think of it in any of these terms, nor could they hear. (8:45) This will be reflected in the new translation. (8:50) One or two. (8:53) Those who disbelieve think that they could get away with setting up my servants of God besides me. (8:59) My servants meaning Jesus, Muhammad, Mary, Hussain, Ali. Speaker 5 (9:11) Yes. (9:12) Right. Speaker 2 (9:21) I don't understand why the word zikr is pointing out that it is not the Quran. (9:32) It was a strong meaning to the code. (9:35) Look at surah 26, for example. (9:38) I'll give you more evidence that it may actually be the mathematical code, specifically. (9:46) Surah 26, at the beginning. (9:58) Verse 5. (10:00) Verse 2. (10:01) Whenever a zikr comes to them from the most gracious, they turn away from it. (10:08) Let's look at surah 21, the beginning of 21. (10:15) Verse 2 says whenever a zikr comes to them from the Lord which is new, they listen to it heedlessly. (10:24) The same word is used. (10:25) 21, 2. (10:31) Whenever a zikr comes to them from the Lord which is new, new evidence, new proof. Speaker 5 (10:45) Reminders, specifically. Speaker 2 (10:47) Specifically a reminder. Speaker 5 (11:09) Right. (11:09) You mean we are supposed to know nothing more than the people of the first generation? (11:21) No, no. (11:24) I say this to us, the people who saw the mathematical code. Speaker 2 (11:38) How do you explain the Arab failure to see the mathematical code? (11:55) 102. (11:55) Those who disbelieve think that they could get away with setting up my servant of God beside me. (12:02) We have prepared for the disbelievers hell as an eternal abode. (12:06) But I tell you who the worst losers are. (12:10) They are the ones whose works in this life are totally astray, but they think that they are doing good. (12:16) Those are the worst losers. (12:18) So you better make sure that you worshiping God alone is a worship to God alone. (12:26) This is the criteria. (12:33) We were talking about this the other day, and we said you have to assume that you are no good. (12:39) I am trying to prove that. (12:41) And if you fail, then you are okay. (12:48) Okay, let's take two people. (12:49) One says la ilaha illallah, and the other says la ilaha illallah Muhammadur Rasulallah. (12:54) Which one is more likely to fall in idol worship? Speaker 7 (12:59) The one who says Muhammadur Rasulallah. Speaker 2 (13:03) Which one is more likely to be accused of putting something with God? (13:07) The one who says la ilaha illallah Muhammadur Rasulallah may be perfectly all right. (13:11) Maybe, maybe perfectly all right. (13:12) But that's a maybe. (13:15) The one who says la ilaha illallah Muhammadur Rasulallah, there is no chance of accusing him or her of putting idols next to God. (13:25) God alone. (13:27) God and Muhammad. (13:28) God and Jesus. (13:30) God and Moses. (13:31) God and Mary. (13:33) Only the person who says God alone is safe. (13:41) And they think they are okay. (13:43) They are doing all right. (13:43) Those are the worst losers. (13:45) Because on the day of judgment, not the day of judgment, but the day they die, it's a terrible surprise. (13:51) The angels come to beat him up and say, what do you mean? (13:55) I was good. (14:00) So it's going to be a terrible surprise. (14:03) That's why God calls them the worst losers. (14:14) Yes, and your work will be in vain. (14:20) You will be the nicest person in the world. (14:23) You will be charitable. (14:24) You are very nice. (14:25) You never hurt a fly. (14:27) And you go to hell. (14:30) Because your work is in vain. (14:39) It's in vain. (14:40) Totally in vain. (14:42) But this life, there are certain guarantees in this life anyway for the believer and the disbeliever. (14:47) Remember Abraham said, provide only for those who believe in God on the last day. (14:51) And God said, no, I provide for everybody. (14:54) Believer and disbeliever. (14:57) Because it's a test. (14:58) You have to provide all the... (15:00) So on the day of judgment, they will not say, oh, I didn't believe because I didn't have any money. Speaker 5 (15:06) Isn't it so that actually, it's like you are completely rejecting our soul which comes from the world of... Speaker 2 (15:18) No, when you refuse to believe, you are making a choice. (15:21) You have given God's message. (15:23) The day you were born, and you have given Satan's message. (15:26) And you make a choice. (15:27) And you chose Satan's message, therefore you belong with him. (15:31) Very simple. (15:35) 105. (15:37) Such are the ones who disbelieve in the revelations of the Lord and in meeting Him. (15:43) Therefore their works are in vain. (15:45) We are just talking about that. (15:47) On the day of resurrection, they have no way. (15:51) They can be very nice and very righteous, but if they don't believe in God, and the soul is emanated from God, then the soul will not grow. (16:02) They went to the weight washers. (16:07) The weight washers of the hereafter. (16:09) You are supposed to go to the weight washers. Speaker 5 (16:11) You are supposed to go to the weight washers. Speaker 2 (16:16) We are weight washers of the soul. (16:18) And we make it as fast as can be. (16:22) We give you so many calories, like we are doing now. (16:27) We have the fastest soul in the universe. (16:34) Therefore their works will be in vain, and on the day of resurrection they will have no way. (16:39) So there will be a weighing day. (16:42) See who weighs, who is the heaviest. (16:44) This is repeated throughout the Quran. Speaker 7 (16:47) You are fat and beautiful. Speaker 2 (16:48) Yes, fat and beautiful. (16:56) 106. (16:57) There is just the question of hell in return for their disbelief and for mocking my revelations and my messages. (17:04) As for those who believe and lead a righteous life, they have deserved a blissful paradise as their abode. (17:11) Forever they abide therein. (17:13) They will never want any other substitute. (17:17) And their choice is so blaring, so fantastic. (17:22) And what is needed is so simple. (17:28) What is needed is what is good for us. (17:30) Do the five prayers, the fast in Ramadan. (17:32) All these are designed for our physical and spiritual improvement. (17:43) You get up before sunrise. (17:45) You do the morning prayer. (17:48) By the time it is 8 o'clock, you finish more work than others do by 5 o'clock in the afternoon. (18:01) And 9 o'clock or 10 o'clock, especially on Sundays. (18:04) 10 o'clock, 11 o'clock, you see your neighbor coming out to get the paper. (18:09) Very sleepy. (18:11) Tumbling around. (18:13) But you have been out for six hours already. (18:22) I think we discussed all the physical benefits of getting up and doing the five prayers. (18:26) The Quran, everything we need. (18:31) 109 say, if the ocean were ink for the words of my Lord, the ocean would run out. (18:38) For the words of my Lord run out. (18:40) Even if we doubled the ink supply. (18:46) These two verses have to do with Quran versus Quran and Hadith. (18:51) God gave us the Quran. (18:52) He gave us everything we need here. (18:54) Everything that is relevant to our eternal life. (19:05) God tells us that the American sports test. (19:10) He didn't run out of words. (19:12) If he wanted us to do nine tests as the regular Muslims do, he would have told us the nine tests. (19:31) Only the end of the verses was marked as tests. (19:38) These doubts and bashes and things and comedy and Quran, they did not exist. (19:46) Then he was wondering if they existed in the past. (19:52) Ihsan has a very good argument about this. (19:56) The people who challenge God and say, if the Quran is complete and perfect like God claims, where is the prayer, the details of the prayer? (20:04) But he always asks them, you mean if the details of the prayer are in the Quran, perfectly stated here, will you follow them? (20:11) They say, of course we follow them. (20:13) He said, ok, let's go to the first test of the prayer, the wudu. (20:16) Here it says, God tells us it's the fourth test. (20:18) How many do you do? (20:19) Do you follow this? (20:22) Next month. (20:25) Yes? (20:26) It's a wonderful argument. (20:29) It's so short. (20:38) Right, but how do you come up with this idea? (20:44) Wonderful. Speaker 7 (20:58) Oh, wonderful. Speaker 2 (20:59) Yes. Speaker 7 (21:31) Yes? Speaker 5 (21:34) Right. (21:37) They have no argument. Speaker 2 (21:52) Who was he? (21:59) Someone is asking, why do the Fatha in Arabic, it's so difficult. (22:04) So difficult for the... Speaker 5 (22:39) Perfect. Speaker 2 (22:43) If you read anything after Al-Fatha, Al-Hamd, what would you read? (22:46) And who's going to pick out what? (22:49) There are so many... (23:01) The Zafars don't know yet, but there are some new revelations, this is part of it. (23:06) But, pin down what to read in every Rafah of the 17 Rafahs of the day. (23:10) And this is only Surah one, nothing else. (23:14) So, inshallah, after you rest, take a nap, go and come back tomorrow, and we'll go through it. (23:22) God taught us exactly what to read in every single unit of the prayer. (23:32) The last verse, 1-10, says do not follow Hadith. (23:37) Say, I am no more than a human being like you. (23:40) Being inspired that your God is one God. (23:43) Those who hope to meet their Lord shall work righteousness, and never worship any other God besides his Lord. (23:50) In other words, this verse is saying, I am a human being like you, do not idolize me. (23:55) The Prophet Muhammad is being idolized against his will, and Jesus, Mary, and the saints are being idolized against their will. (24:08) So, this is our one-page, afternoon, Quranic study. (24:13) Congratulations. (24:14) Congratulations. (24:15) But the floor is open for general discussion. (24:28) The Lord just returns to God, his exceptional end, and his Rabb. (24:34) If it was a small n, it is like this. (24:37) God is a small g. (24:43) Or, Rabb, the ultimate. (24:45) Sometimes it is said that they made their priest as Rabb. (24:59) We mean the end of participation. (25:04) We mean God and the end of participation. (25:09) I mean God alone. (25:10) I thought Laila went to San Francisco. (25:16) Are you going today? Speaker 5 (25:20) Tomorrow. Speaker 2 (25:20) Oh, tomorrow? Speaker 7 (25:21) That's good. Speaker 2 (25:31) What was the question again? (25:32) Oh, Rabb, the Lord. (25:35) And the question on I and we. (25:38) Like what God says, we revealed to the Christians, and we will preserve it, because Gabriel participated in the process of revelation. (25:46) And we will preserve it, because the angels making sure that nobody will tamper with it. (25:54) This is generally the rule. (25:57) The one part that confuses a lot of people is, we thought the angels fall prostrate before Adam. (26:03) I hear this question more often than anything else. (26:06) We thought the angels fall prostrate before Adam. (26:10) So how can it include the angels? (26:13) They don't understand that the number of angels is... (26:16) Even the angels don't know how many angels there are. (26:19) There are so many of them. (26:21) The number is so vast. (26:23) What happened was, God told the leaders of the angels, I want all the angels to fall prostrate when Adam stands up. (26:30) When I blow into him from my spirit and he stands up alive from mud to a living person, I want all the angels to prostrate. (26:37) So the angels went and told the rest of the angels that when this happens, God wants us all to fall prostrate. (26:47) So it's still we. Speaker 5 (26:48) So God told the archangels and the archangels told the angels. (26:53) Yes. (26:54) I have the name of God, also Allah. (27:14) Yes. Speaker 2 (27:20) So why do you translate? (27:22) Why do you translate this in the name of... (27:27) You either speak in English or speak in Arabic. Speaker 5 (27:29) I mean the name Allah is Allah. (27:38) This is what I say. Speaker 2 (27:39) Allah is not a name. Speaker 5 (27:40) Aha, it's not a name. (27:42) But the Arabs used to say that Allah is Allah. Speaker 2 (27:44) Right. (27:48) The Christians in the Arab world say Allah. Speaker 5 (27:57) It's not a name. Speaker 2 (28:03) Allah means literally the one God. (28:05) The one. (28:05) Yes, the one. (28:06) Allah means the one God. (28:10) I use this a lot also. (28:12) Very stupid, isn't it? (28:13) And if you look at some of this, it says, in the name of Allah, the Rahman, the Rahish. (28:20) Give this to any American and have... Speaker 5 (28:27) Yes. Speaker 7 (28:31) Yes. (28:41) What is it? Speaker 5 (28:55) He doesn't know what to say. Speaker 2 (29:24) One is heavier than the other one. (29:43) True. (29:44) The truth says it. Speaker 5 (29:56) God created the Arabs. (29:59) Yes. (30:00) Before they... Speaker 4 (31:00) Allahu Akbar. (31:19) Allahu Akbar. (31:37) Subhana rabbiyal a'la. (31:39) Subhana rabbiyal a'la. (31:43) Allahu Akbar. (31:47) Subhana rabbiyal a'la. (31:54) Allahu Akbar.

Speaker 1 (37:41) Audhu billahi min ash-shaitani r-rajim. (37:42) We seek refuge in God from Satan, the rejected. (37:48) Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. (37:50) In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. (37:52) Tonight we start at Surah 81 and our feature is a deep. Speaker 3 (37:57) When the sun is rolled, the stars are crashed into each other. (38:11) The mountains are wiped out. (38:14) The reproduction is halted, summoned. (38:19) The oceans are set aflame. (38:22) The souls are restored to their bodies. (38:25) The girl who was buried alive is asked, for what crime would she kill? (38:32) The records are made known. (38:35) The heaven is removed. (38:37) Hell is ignited. (38:39) Paradise is presented. (38:42) Every soul will know everything it wrote. (38:50) Here, there is a general description of end of the world and resurrection, but I think there is no sequence, only God Messenger of the Covenant. Speaker 1 (39:24) I solemnly... (39:25) Can you explain the stars crashing? (39:34) We are not going to let you get away with it. (39:36) You have to explain it. Speaker 5 (39:39) We can read it. Speaker 3 (39:40) Yes, I know, but... Speaker 1 (39:46) The mountains are wiped out. Speaker 3 (39:47) Yes, because the harmony collapsed and there will be no gravitation, there will be no any system and everything will collapse, will catch each other. (40:06) This is a description of end of the world. Speaker 1 (40:08) So, there will be an implosion? (40:18) There will be an implosion, it sounds like. (40:22) The stars will crash into each other. (40:26) I'm not giving you a rough time. Speaker 3 (40:28) No, no, no, I don't worry about it. Speaker 1 (40:32) In Surah 39 it says, when a fault... (40:35) Yes. (40:35) The heavens like falling of a book. (40:37) Yes. (40:40) So, it's an implosion. (40:41) They actually are expecting an implosion. Speaker 3 (40:42) There are two theories about end of this universe, scientific theories. (40:49) According to them, one option, the universe is expanding, if the expand speed is more than a critical point, the universe cannot come together any. (41:08) Forever it will expand. (41:12) But another theory is the maximum speed is below the critical point and then after a while, many years later, they say thousands years or billions years later, they will come together. (41:33) For example, if you threw a stone from the earth more than 11 km per second, its speed 11 km, more than 11 km per second, will not come back to the earth. (41:56) But if the speed of the stone is less than 11 km per second, it will come back many kilometers later, it will stop and then will fall on the earth. (42:08) This is gravity law. (42:13) And now from Quran, we understand, we know that the second theory will occur. (42:22) This theory is called as, what is the opposite of open? Speaker 1 (42:29) Implode. (42:30) Implode. Speaker 3 (42:31) Yes, universe theory. (42:37) Quran theory is implosion. (42:40) They will come together like the paper of the book. Speaker 1 (42:48) Why will it happen? (42:49) Creation with explosion. (42:52) What? (42:52) Why will the implosion happen? Speaker 3 (42:55) Because God will say... Speaker 1 (43:02) It's not just that. (43:03) Anybody? (43:05) Kitchen? (43:06) Yeah, Emily. (43:08) God will come. (43:09) Yes, there you go. (43:14) Fast, yeah? (43:18) Ok, now we are talking. (43:20) So this implosion will happen because God will physically come to this universe. Speaker 3 (43:25) God's physical existence, when God comes, this universe cannot stand for God's physical existence and then they will implode. (43:37) Do you have any question about this part? (43:47) If you ask, we can explain. Speaker 1 (43:51) Boy, it's like pulling teeth, you know, it's got the information there but you have to pull it out. Speaker 3 (43:54) Yes. Speaker 1 (43:55) So do ask him questions. Speaker 3 (43:57) The girl who was buried alive is asked for what crime was she killed. (44:09) From Quran we learn that Arabs, they were humiliating women and they were not glad with the girls when they see girl as a baby. (44:24) They didn't want girls and they were killing them. (44:29) And this was a very great crime. (44:32) And also now we can see the extension of this understanding in many places in the world girls are also the second class. (44:56) And I think killing of girls was because of economy. (45:05) Boys, when they become adult, they could gain money or they could work but girls at that time, they could not. Speaker 6 (45:48) What's your question? (45:51) Why? Speaker 3 (46:02) There are two ways to interpret, to understand this. (46:08) One way, when a big event, explosion or a great shock happens, from here they come together. (46:20) This may be expression of this event or hereafter God also will resurrect all animals. Speaker 1 (46:31) The second interpretation is correct. (46:33) Surah 6, verse 38, you can see that. (46:40) Yes. (46:40) So it's the same word being used. (46:43) All the animals will be resurrected and will be gathered on the day of. (46:49) So if you had a pet or anything, you will meet them all on the day of. (47:21) Yes, the black hole phenomenon is a minute representation of this. (47:26) This is a universal black hole. (47:32) But I want to go back to the 8 and 9 that Beth was asking about. (47:37) I don't like to depress you but this is actually still happening in Saudi Arabia today. (47:49) I call it a cultural disaster. (47:52) And this is why when they walk into this mosque, they are shocked to see a woman's hair. (47:56) And they run away. (47:59) I mean, they cover up the woman and they regard them in such a disastrous way that they used to kill the baby girls in the past. (48:11) And I had a Saudi friend 10 years ago who went back to Saudi Arabia and he came back. (48:18) He was almost crying. (48:19) He said, you can find baby girls in garbage bins now. (48:25) He was from Medina. (48:26) In the Prophet's city. (48:32) Very depressing. (48:33) I mean, how would you change a cultural behavior like that? (48:39) If the Quran didn't do it, what is going to do it? (48:45) This will make you understand why they are shocked. (48:50) They make up stories like in Masjid Tulsan, the men and the women pray side by side, which is not true. (48:56) They make up things like women lead the prayer in Masjid Tulsan. (49:00) It's just they have this severe complex that even today these things happen. (49:09) They don't have accurate records of pregnancies or even births. (49:20) This is why it is significant that it is mentioned. (49:23) And it's mentioned in other places in the Quran. (49:26) The girl who was buried alive was asked for what crime was she. (49:34) And of course the hint is for those who commit this horrendous demonstration of stupidity. (49:47) So believers don't have that. (49:48) I come across believers once in a while who prefer to have a son over a daughter. (49:58) And they really suck it to them. (50:04) There is no preference whatsoever. (50:08) I mean, as far as God is concerned. (50:12) It may even be the other way around. (50:15) In fact, there are sayings, I think here in the States maybe, or in other countries also, that say the girl brings a son, but the son is taken away by his wife. (50:31) Something to that effect. (50:37) Right, something like that. (50:38) I've heard it in different ways, said in different ways, to be brought out. (51:02) It's such a horrendous crime that the Quran gives it a lot of attention. (51:06) It also reflects the kind of mentality that exists there, even now. (51:15) Any comments? (51:21) Exactly, yes, exactly. (51:23) I'm glad you mentioned it. (51:25) Even the women who survive, they're actually buried alive. (51:30) The way they demand that they're covered up this way. (51:35) Ismail just came from Iran. (51:40) The ladies, they have to be covered up. (51:46) How is the society in general? (52:06) Let's take the ladies who used to walk in the streets in European clothes. (52:10) Now they have to cover up in this way. (52:17) They're forced. (52:21) Did you hear over there? (52:24) Ismail says that there is rebellion against this forced dress in Iran. (52:28) But they can do nothing about it. (52:30) If they speak up, they'll be killed. (52:34) So it is a terrible oppression. (52:35) This is a form of burial. (52:38) They're being buried alive. (52:43) What's her name? (52:46) Diane Sawyer. (52:47) Diane Sawyer went to Iran, and she had to, before the plane landed in Iran, she had to cover up her head, and she made a big deal out of it. (53:00) Double standard. (53:01) Go ahead. (53:49) Well, I have on my desk a piece of news from the Arizona newspaper, where in Iran they ordered, no, no, excuse me, in Pakistan, a judge ordered the execution of six people because of sex crimes. (54:05) This is the headline. (54:06) And when you read the article, you find out that this lady didn't like her husband, so she left him. (54:13) Of course, according to the Quran, marriage is a contract between two people, and once out, the contract is invalid anymore. (54:22) But they don't give this right to the woman according to the so-called Islamic Sharia. (54:28) So I don't know how many months or years later she married somebody else. (54:35) Now, her former husband complained, and they ruled that she and her new husband had committed adultery. (54:47) So the judge ordered them stoned to death. (54:51) And four of their friends also stoned to death because they knew about it. (54:59) I have this on my desk. (55:00) If you don't believe it, you can read it later. (55:03) This is the kind of mentality where women are oppressed. (55:21) Surah 28, that God feels for the oppressed, and He makes it up to them. (55:25) According to Hadith and Sunnah, the majority of inhabitants of hell are women. (55:30) But I'm convinced that the opposite is true because of the oppression that they undergo. (55:38) When I served in Saudi Arabia for the United Nations, I came across a daily program where people send messages, and most of these messages were from women. (55:52) I'm telling you, I cried. (55:53) I actually cried listening to that program. (55:56) Because a typical story would be a woman whose husband disappeared for six months or a year. (56:02) She doesn't know where he is. (56:04) She's grounded in the apartment or the house or the place that's assigned for her. (56:08) And her in-laws bring whatever food or whatever that keeps her alive. (56:13) She never leaves the place. (56:14) It's just like a prison. (56:17) And this is a typical story. (56:19) And she's asking for help. (56:22) Obviously she snuck out a letter to that radio program. (56:29) So it is a tragic situation. (56:33) I guess abandoning the Quran is one of the reasons. (56:40) Any other comments or questions? (56:43) I just want you to know what is happening over there. (56:45) So we can thank God for the freedom we have here and the ability to practice the Quran. (56:52) Hadith, back to Hadith. (56:55) Verse 15? Speaker 3 (56:56) Yes, verse 15. (56:58) God's Messenger of the Covenant. (57:00) I solemnly swear by the galaxies precisely running in their orbits by the night as it falls and the morning as it breathes. (57:11) This is the utterance of an honorable messenger authorized by the possessor of the throne fully supported. (57:19) He shall be obeyed and trusted. (57:22) Your friend Rashad is not crazy. (57:24) He saw him at the high horizon. (57:27) He's not holding back any news. (57:29) It is not the talk of a rejected devil. (57:33) Now then, where will you go? (57:35) This is a message to all the people. (57:38) For those who wish to go straight. (57:40) Whatever you will is in accordance with the will of God, Lord of the Universe. (57:55) Look at the footnotes. (58:00) If you add the number of the chapters plus the geometric value of Rashad and Khalifa, you'll find that this refers to the message. (58:20) Because in verse 27, God says, This is a message to all the people. (58:35) And it describes Rashad's experience in 1971 when he was in Mecca. (58:51) He had an experience. (58:53) In appendix 2, there's a reference you have now. (59:13) Now, in chapter 3, verse 81, you'll see the prophecy about God's messenger of the covenant. (59:26) If you add them to the geometric value of Rashad and Khalifa, you'll find 1311. (59:33) You'll find in verse 19, God describes the messenger. (59:52) And also, if you add them up... Speaker 1 (59:54) This is, of course, very embarrassing to me, but I can't afford to hold back any of this. (1:00:08) It's mainly for the future generation. (1:00:10) Our generation may not be able to stand this kind of news. (1:00:18) As for our people, God snuck it on us gradually, very slowly. (1:00:23) So we are able to stand it. (1:00:25) But it really is an awesome responsibility. (1:00:32) I want to read with you page 643. (1:00:36) Why 81? (1:00:39) I want to spare a bit of shyness. (1:00:44) Verse 81 and surah 81. (1:00:46) Number 16 here says God's message of the covenant is prophesied in verse 81 of surah 3. (1:00:51) The addition of the geometrical value of Rashad, which is 505, plus the geometrical value of Khalifa, which is 725, plus the verse number, 81, produces a total of 1311, 19 times 69. (1:01:04) Number 17, if you look at surah 81, which is what we're studying tonight, we read about a messenger of God who is powerfully supported and authorized by the Almighty, as we see in verse 19. (1:01:16) Thus, verse 81 of surah 3 and surah 81, verse 19, are strongly connected with the name Rashad Khalifa. (1:01:27) As you know, when the first hint came out in the first translation, authorized English version, a lot of people were up in arms, you know. (1:01:34) Why authorized? (1:01:35) Who authorized this? (1:01:37) But the verse in Arabic here, verse 20, is very clear, authorized by the possessor of the throne, fully supported. (1:01:46) And now we have this mathematical, Quranic and mathematical. (1:01:53) Number 18 on page 643 says, if we add the surah numbers plus the number of verses from the beginning of the Quran to verse 381, where the message of the covenant is prophesied, the total comes to 380, 19 times 20. (1:02:08) And this is shown in table 6. (1:02:11) You understand this number 18? (1:02:14) You take the surah numbers and the number of verses from the beginning of the Quran to the place where the message of the covenant is prophesied. (1:02:24) And this gives us 380, a multiple of 19. (1:02:27) And as you know, 19 is our generation's sign. (1:02:33) Number 19 says the geometrical value of verse 381 is 13148, a multiple of 19. (1:02:39) This value is obtained by adding the geometrical values of every letter in the verse. (1:02:44) Number 20, if you look at that portion of verse 381, which refers specifically to the message of the covenant, I have it here in Arabic, it says a messenger will come to you confirming what you have. (1:02:57) We find that the geometrical value of this key phrase is 836, 19 times 40. (1:03:04) So this is the connection with surah 81. (1:03:09) This is why I couldn't afford to avoid writing in verse 22, put the name Rashad in parentheses there. (1:03:22) And some of you are familiar with the initial announcement, excuse me for doing this, I just can't afford to hold back. (1:03:36) Those of you who are not familiar with that momentous night, I'd be glad to go over it with you again. (1:03:43) And if you find that this is not acceptable, I don't blame you. (1:03:47) It is very difficult, very difficult to accept. (1:03:50) But I will be very happy to discuss it with you if you have any questions. (1:03:58) And like I said, this is for the future generations. (1:04:01) It will be easier for them. (1:04:05) I have to share with you a story that will please the believers. (1:04:13) We were staying at Farima and Amir Kulani in San Francisco, and they have two children, Shaliz, she's 8 years old, and Haris. (1:04:27) After two days of staying there, the neighbor's kids came to the house and asked, where is God's messenger? (1:04:33) Apparently that the Farima and Amir's children were going to the neighbor's house, saying, guess who's sleeping in our house? (1:04:43) And it just reflected how it will be a lot easier for the new generation because they don't have the holdbacks or the hang-ups that we have. (1:04:54) They will grow up and they will look at the whole story objectively. (1:04:57) They will look at the proofs objectively without anything holding them back. (1:05:03) So it pleases us to see the new generation. (1:05:09) So this here, if you'll excuse me for putting it in, it is for the new generations. (1:05:17) I hope most of you will understand anyway. (1:05:21) Back to Adib. (1:05:27) If you have any questions, don't be shy. (1:05:29) You have to bring out all the doubts. (1:05:36) It's interesting that they find some of these things happening without me paying attention, like he's not holding back any news. (1:05:45) He's not holding back any news because I'm not holding back anything. (1:05:51) I want everything to be clear and open. (1:05:53) And then I read the verse and I say, yeah, this is what is happening. (1:05:58) And the point that Lisa raised of obey and trust, he shall be obeyed and trust, it is not the person. (1:06:10) It's obey and trust because we're receiving information from God. (1:06:14) This is why God ties the commandment of obeying God and obeying the Messenger together throughout the Quran because I'm just as excited as you when we receive new information that threatens everything that we're doing. (1:06:30) We're doing lots of things wrong and God's mercy sees to it that we change our ways to the correct way. (1:06:39) So this is where obeying and trusting comes. (1:06:43) Your friend is not crazy. (1:06:46) This ties in with the other statement of the Quran. (1:06:52) It says I've lived with you many years. (1:06:54) In other words, this is a quotation in the Quran. (1:06:57) Do you remember it? (1:06:58) I forget what it is exactly. (1:07:00) But what it says is that here's a person who's been with you for many years and you know he's not crazy because a person who is not a messenger of God, who claims to be a messenger of God, will have to be crazy if he's not a messenger. (1:07:16) He'll be a person who has no belief that he will meet God someday and will be asked by God about everything he's doing. (1:07:24) Or he's a person who doesn't have any mental capacity whatsoever. (1:07:29) And the statement that I've lived with you many years is because I got to know you, we know each other, and obviously I'm not crazy or mentally retarded. (1:07:42) So this statement, your friend is not crazy, ties in with that I stayed with you for a number of years. (1:07:49) It is God's design to appoint messengers after the age of 40. (1:07:56) This has been consistent except with the Prophet Jesus for special reasons. (1:08:02) But every messenger was appointed after the age of 40. (1:08:04) So he lived among his people for 40 years. (1:08:06) They knew him as a normal person who was a merchant or a shepherd or going about his business. (1:08:12) If they know he's a normal person, all of a sudden he says, I'm God's messenger. (1:08:16) And invariably they accuse him of being crazy. (1:08:18) So he says, I lived with you so many years and you didn't know that I was crazy, so why do you call me crazy now? (1:08:25) Going to examine what I'm saying, yes? (1:08:29) 10-10? (1:08:31) 10-10, yes. (1:08:37) So this is the idea. (1:08:39) Because if a person lives with you for so many years, you know him closely, and you know very well he's not crazy, then he's either really a God's messenger or he's a very bad person who is trying to trick God. (1:08:56) It's one of the extremes. (1:09:06) He saw him at the high horizon. (1:09:09) He saw him at the high horizon. (1:09:12) The footnote 8123 says, Rashad Tarifa was summoned to the high horizon as detailed in appendix 2. (1:09:19) And this has to do with the fact that I was summoned, and I was passive at the time, but all the prophets fulfilled their covenant, which is recognizing, acknowledging, supporting, and believing in the message of the covenant. (1:09:39) Yes, it was on the high horizon. (1:09:42) Exactly where, I don't know, but it was out of this. (1:09:48) It was in the place where the souls are, or chances are, it's in the seventh or the first universe. (1:09:55) If you consider ours the seventh universe. (1:09:58) That fulfillment of the covenant occurred in the first universe. (1:10:03) In the last conference, as you know, I shared it with you in detail, and I'm glad to share it with anybody in detail at any time. (1:10:11) But those of you who don't know it, I'd be glad to share it with you again. (1:10:16) But briefly, I was summoned to the first universe. (1:10:19) I sat in a place, and all the prophets, one by one, acknowledged me as God's message of the covenant. (1:10:28) I was told there were all the prophets. (1:10:30) I was not given the identity of any of them except Ibrahim, because of his resemblance to my own family. (1:10:36) I was taken aback by this man who looks like us, my uncles, my father. (1:10:42) And I was told, there was no speaking at all, but mentally, I was told this is Ibrahim. (1:10:48) Other than that, I was told that these are all the prophets, that included Noah, Jesus, Moses, David, Solomon, all of them. (1:10:57) So this is what 23 refers to. Speaker 6 (1:10:59) If you read appendix 2, it will give you, yeah. Speaker 1 (1:11:14) Where are the prophets now? (1:11:17) Let's see what happens. (1:11:19) Pay attention to the baby's picture. (1:11:24) Go ahead. (1:11:36) In other words, those who are known to deserve guidance will accept this. (1:11:45) People who are willed by God to be guided. (1:11:52) Does this make sense? (1:11:56) It should be clear. (1:11:57) So this is a message to all the people, for those who wish to go straight. (1:12:01) You know, when you pray every day, you say, Guide us on the straight path. (1:12:06) So those who wish to go straight will accept this heavy information. (1:12:12) This is very heavy. (1:12:20) Okay. (1:12:20) When you look at any person, there is an invisible stamp on their forehead that says, Heaven or Hell. Speaker 5 (1:12:27) Okay. Speaker 1 (1:12:27) The person who is stamped Hell on their forehead, there is nothing you can do to guide them. (1:12:33) And the people who are stamped Heaven, God knows, only God knows who is going to Heaven and who is going to Hell. (1:12:39) So for the person who is stamped Hell or misguided, there is no way you can make them understand. (1:12:47) The person who is stamped Heaven would see this and would accept it right away. (1:12:54) See that there is nothing wrong with it, it is in accordance with the Quran, there is sufficient proof. (1:13:00) They may hold their judgment for a while until they examine the evidence and so on. (1:13:12) No, it refers to you and me and anybody. (1:13:16) Whatever you people will is in accordance with the will of God, Lord of the Universe. (1:13:33) No, there is nothing wrong with it. (1:13:34) We have always talked about it. (1:13:37) When we are born, God knows already the people who did not side with Satan during that great feud. (1:13:46) They didn't really side with Satan. (1:13:47) Remember the foot of my last foot? (1:13:52) Some people who went along with the cow, but in their heart, they did not side with Satan. (1:13:57) So these people deserve to be guided. (1:14:00) They deserve to be redeemed. (1:14:01) And they are put in circumstances that bring them in touch with this message. (1:14:09) When they are born, they are assigned to a certain house, certain parents, to grow up under certain circumstances, and then the result will be that they are guided, because they deserve to be guided. (1:15:38) It's an obstacle. (1:15:39) It's an obstacle for the... (1:15:52) Say it again? (1:15:55) Yeah, table 5 must be... Speaker 6 (1:15:59) Table 4. Speaker 1 (1:16:00) Yeah, it's from the previous page. (1:16:04) This copy is just dealing with the number 81, because this is surah 81. (1:16:16) The locusts playing havoc with the group. (1:16:26) Now, Douglas said that this is lucky for us, because actually, we have no idea how lucky our generation is. (1:16:38) This puts us in a place where we can belong with the elite of the elite. (1:16:45) The elite of the elite, or in the Quran, those who are especially close to God, are the people of the first generation. (1:16:53) Whenever a messenger comes, Abraham, or Ishmael, or Jesus, or Moses... Speaker 6 (1:17:01) Oh! (1:17:22) The elite... Speaker 1 (1:17:27) The elite of the elite are the people who exist at the same time when the message is new, and the people are rejecting it, and you are being persecuted for accepting that message, which is worshiping God alone, accepting the word of God alone. (1:17:43) It's a very heavy responsibility, and the people who accept it are very, very, very, I can say this forever, fortunate, because they are of the elite for eternity, and you are not born at this time by coincidence. (1:17:59) There is a reason for it. (1:18:00) Obviously, you deserve it. (1:18:03) But to say that we are lucky or fortunate is the understatement of the century. (1:18:10) It is really a very, very exciting part of history. (1:18:14) I'm just talking as a person. (1:18:18) God happens to want us to know certain information to correct our path, and God's system, as we learn from the Quran, is that he selects one of us to distribute the information through one of us, and doesn't make this one of us any better or worse or special. (1:18:37) We have many lessons in the Quran indicating this. (1:18:40) Moses, one of the great messengers, God sent a teacher in human form. (1:18:45) He could have been a human. (1:18:47) Probably he was an angel. (1:18:49) But God didn't tell us if he was a human or an angel. (1:18:51) The fact is that Moses existed, and there was another servant of God who taught him a few things. (1:18:58) So it's just a system whereby God distributes, disseminates information to all of us. (1:19:07) We are a very fortunate generation indeed. (1:19:50) I think we live these very exciting times, and we've seen how the information comes as we needed it, at the right time. (1:19:59) Before printing the Quran, we were working on the appendix about the two false verses, and Mahmoud Habib and Abdullah Harik and Ismail Barakat and Feroz Karmali and Gadud were coming with information. (1:20:10) There was just pouring information coming, the evidence, very powerful and amazing. (1:20:16) We just couldn't catch our breath. (1:20:18) And now that the book is in the press, they are very quiet, aren't they? (1:20:22) Do you hear anything from Mahmoud or Abdullah? (1:20:25) No? (1:20:27) But the information came at the right time. (1:20:29) It was just amazing. (1:20:32) I mean, I will start the computer and I will be working on this subject, and they will walk in with the information, as I'm just about to put my fingers on the keyboard.
